Erik Ferentinos was a teenager in 1986 when Stephen Pearcy from Ratt moved in across the street. A friendship began, and years later Erik would ended up stepping in to play guitar in Stephen's solo band. Erik came on to talk about his entire career, his relationship with Stephen, his rapidly growing YouTube channel Erik Ferentinos Unleashed, his heart attack, and the kickass new band called The Project that he's playing with. I hope you enjoy this conversation.Check out Erik Ferentinos Unleashed on YouTube!https://www.youtube.com/@ErikFerentinos/featuredErik on Facebook:https://www.facebook.com/ErikFerentinosThe website for The Project:https://theprojectofficial.net/Stephen Pearcy's website:https://www.officialstephenpearcy.com/Please Subscribe!!

I read the new Nelson book, "Whatever Happened To Your Hair" in two days before the interview with Gunnar. I was SHOCKED. The story of the Nelson Brothers is so different than I ever imagined, and it was an honor to have Gunnar (with brief appearance by Matthew as well) on to talk about their life, blowing up on the After the Rain album, the downfall during the grunge years, and the amazing new book that they just released. I hope you enjoy this conversation.The Brothers' website to purchase the book and other info:https://www.nelsontwins.com/The direct Amazon link to purchase the book:https://a.co/d/gnRaiosNelson on Facebook:https://www.facebook.com/NELSONthebandPlease Subscribe!!

Robbie Crane has had a wild career in music. He worked a bass tech for Bobby Dall and Poison just as they were blowing up, he recorded with Tuff, and tried out for Lynch Mob before getting the Vince Neil gig... which was a strange story in itself. Robbie also did 15 years with Ratt, played with Lynch Mob, is currently filling in for Warrant and is a member of Black Star Riders. This was an unbelievable conversation, and I hope you enjoy the interview.Robbie on Facebook:https://www.facebook.com/robbie.crane.148Robbie on Instagram:https://www.instagram.com/realrobbiecrane/Please Subscribe!!

I became enamored with Brandin Lea and Flickerstick in 2001 when religiously watching the VH1 series Bands on the Run. They were the rock band we all wanted to hang out with, and against all odds, they won the show. But 9/11 completely derailed their album Welcoming Home the Astronauts, and addiction and internal struggles tore apart the band. But Brandin Lea battled back, and Flickerstick just released their phenomenal new album, Superluminal. Brandin came on to tell the whole story... you can't miss this interview.The Flickerstick Website:https://flickerstickofficial.com/Flickerstick on Facebook:https://www.facebook.com/flickerstick.officialBrandin on Facebook:https://www.facebook.com/brandin.lea.1Brandin on Instagram:https://www.instagram.com/brandinblea/Please Subscribe!!
